If you are not using MacTeX / TeX Live or you have customised your TeX distribution, the paths shown above may not match your particular system, but you get the idea. 2) If you want to have Asymptote compiled with support for fftw or gsl (fast fourier transforms or the GNU Scientific Library) they must be manually installed first: brew install fftw brew install gsl They are not compiled by default because they take a long time to compile and they are not required by most users. (And they're not included in the TeX Live build of Asymptote.) 3) If you wish to use xasy, you must first install the Python Imaging Library (PIL): easy_install http://effbot.org/downloads/Imaging-1.1.7.tar.gz EOS end end
